Bananas Foster

The combination of flambéed bananas, melted butter, and the right amount of brown sugar and cinnamon is one dessert that should be on everyone’s must-try list!

Materials

  • ½ cup Hiland Dairy Salted Butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 bananas
  • ¼ cup finely chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup dark rum
  • 4 large scoops of Hiland Dairy Vanilla Ice Cream

Instructions

  • Combine butter, sugar and cinnamon in a skillet. Place over low heat until sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise and then in halves. Set aside.
  • Stir in vanilla extract and then place the bananas and walnuts in the pan.
  • Flip the bananas over and when bananas begin to soften and brown, slowly pour in the rum.
  • Immediately light the rum using a long-tipped lighter.
  • When the flame subsides (about 10 seconds), remove the bananas and arrange them on a plate.
  • Serve with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and a generous drizzle of the warm sauce.
